The beautiful Zenith model 808, by comparison with
the entry level 807, features both upgraded cabinetry
and electronics. The cabinet adds decorative inlays,
molded trim pieces and more exotic veneers and the
electronics is enhanced through the addition of a tun-

It covers standard broadcast (537-1500kc), the former
police band (1500-4200kc) and shortwave (foreign
broadcast) (5500-15800kc).
The 6-tube line-up is:- 6D6 (RF), 6A7 (mixer/LO), 6D6
(IF), 75 (2nd detector/AVC/1st AF), 42 (AF power) and
80 (rectifier). The schematic may be found here, cour-
tesy of NostalgiaAir.
Controls are volume/on/off, tuning, tone and band sel-
ection.
The introductory selling price in the East was $49.95,
though by Christmas of 1934 the price was $60.45.
